shipkit-scale-ready

shipkit-scale-ready is a skill for Claude Code from stefan-stepzero/shipkit. It costs 32 tokens per session (4,703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A production-readiness audit for systems that already have users and are preparing to grow. It examines whether the system can be observed, perform reliably, and be operated as demand increases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an MVP launch to review performance, reliability, monitoring, and operational maturity, with either a growth or enterprise focus.
Why use it?
It reveals weaknesses that may cause slowdowns, failures, or difficult debugging before growth or demanding customers expose them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shipkit-scale-ready scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

shipkit-scale-ready - Scale Readiness Audit

Purpose: Ensure your production system can handle growth and be operated reliably.

Who this is for: Teams with traction — you've launched, you have users, now you need to harden for scale.

Prerequisite: Preflight passed. This skill assumes MVP-level production readiness already exists.


When to Invoke

User triggers:

  • "Ready to scale"
  • "Scale readiness check"
  • "Production hardening"
  • "Post-MVP audit"
  • "We have traction, what should we fix?"
  • "Enterprise readiness"

Workflow position:

  • After MVP launch and user traction
  • Before scaling marketing/growth efforts
  • Before enterprise customers
  • When transitioning from "it works" to "it's robust"

The Two Tiers

Tier When Focus
🔶 Growth Have traction, scaling up Can handle 10x users, can debug prod issues
🏢 Enterprise Big customers, high stakes Compliance, SLAs, operational maturity

Default audit covers Growth tier. Enterprise tier on request or if context indicates enterprise customers.


Process

Completion Tracking

After determining scope, create tasks per audit category:

  • TaskCreate for each applicable category (Security/DB, Observability/Perf, Reliability/Ops, Code Maturity, Compliance)
  • TaskCreate: "Merge all subagent results"
  • TaskCreate: "Write scale-readiness.json"
  • TaskCreate: "Archive previous audit (if full audit)"

TaskUpdate each task to in_progress when starting it, completed when done.

Subagent results returning is NOT done — results must be merged, classified, and written to the JSON artifact. Do NOT skip the archive step.

Step 0: Verify Prerequisites

1. Check if preflight passed recently
   - Read .shipkit/preflight.json
   - If blockers exist: "Fix preflight blockers first — run /preflight"

2. Load project context
   - .shipkit/stack.json — tech stack
   - .shipkit/why.json — scale expectations
   - .shipkit/architecture.json — key patterns

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
